Dear friends,
My name is Eric and I am from Anderson, South Carolina. I would like to say that I have always walked the straight and narrow path but that is not what God had in store for me. My mom signed away rights to me and my 2 brothers at age 10. My dad went to prison on a murder charge at age 12. Even though I was saved at age 14, I found myself constantly questioning God. Why would you do this to a child? Why want you bring my Mom and Dad home? Or can you? Questioning turned to doubting, and then to doubting Gods ability. This gave the devil the foothold that he needed to ultimately destroy my life. Never planned on becoming a drug dealer, getting strung out on meth, losing everything that God had blessed me with, and definitely not going to jail. Little sins in my life lead to big sins. It all started with the first drink. I never said when they asked me as a kid what I wanted to be when I grow up that I wanted to be a drug dealer. Didnt want to do the work of the devil and lead so many down the wrong road. But as a lack of faith on my part thats what ultimately happened. Not all at once, but gradually little sins lead to big sins. As I was saying I went to jail and lost everything that I had, or so I thought. My brother sent me a gospel tract that read how to get back on target. I realized that thru it all I had had a friend that stuck closer than a brother with me the whole time. I got out and immediately got back in church and have been very active since the day that got set me free from the hell of addiction that I had lived in for so many years. I direct an addiction program at my church on friday nights called Reformers Unanimous, am active in our jail ministry, sing at church , teach the children and try to help the Lords efforts to save us all. "So then those that are strong ought to help those who are weak and bear infirmities and not to please ourselves." For many years I saw my addiction as to big to whip, but now with the help of God I see it as too big to miss. Just like David saw Goliath.Haha I cant change my past but thank God he allows u turns.Bible speaks in Phil 3:13 of forgetting your past. As an adult thats impossible. But with Gods help I am no longer under the influence of or a slave to my past.Each day is a gift from God and thats why it is called a present or the present. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME No matter where you are at or what you have done, IF GOD CAN BRING YOU TO IT THEN HE CAN BRING YOU THRU IT
